Fifteen years ago, my artwork was stolen and my carefully planned future taken along with it.Since then, I have been an unconscious resident of what is known as ’The Fertile Void’.
It is a place where most of us will spend time, a place of darkness and anxiety. Yet it is also a place of unyielding creativity and infinite possibilities. Somewhere both light and dark wrestle to be felt. The loss of self and the sudden absence of a tangible future is felt like a physical weight.
Sanity entwined with the need to find purpose in a world beyond our control. My work remains within this void; each piece a physical manifestation of pure potential rising from the dark, the uncertainty.
Environmental manipulation becomes radical possibility. Validity achieved through existence.
